Secondary role: Indole and pyrrole derivatives are alkylated with unactivated secondary aliphatic alcohols by a Brønsted acid‐catalyzed redox chain reaction mechanism. Broad functional‐group tolerance has been demonstrated and preliminary studies suggest that 1,4‐reduction of a putative indolyl carbocation is the dominant mechanistic pathway.
